Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes – all designs, PDF, Word and TXT downloads are free with no watermark and no sign-up.
Is my resume stored on your servers?
No. Everything you type is saved only in your own browser (so you can come back later) – there is no account. When you click Download, the content is sent once to create the file and is not stored or logged. Use "Clear" to remove it from this browser.
How long can an academic CV be?
As long as needed – academic CVs often run to several pages. The builder flows content onto new pages automatically.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It works in any modern browser on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac.
